Holy Flying Circus

Holy Flying Circus is a fantastical reimagining of the controversy in both the USA and UK surrounding the release of Monty Python's 1979 film Life of Brian. It follows the build up to Michael Palin and John Cleese's defence of the film on the BBC2 discussion programme Friday Night, Saturday Morning in 1979. Written by Tony Roche (In The Loop; The Thick of It) and directed by Owen Harris (Misfits; Secret Diary Of A Call Girl), Holy Flying Circus is a bold and entertaining homage to Monty Python as well as an intriguing exploration of the nature of censorship.
